<p>New member here! <span aria-label="wave" class="emoji emoji-1f44b" role="img" title="wave">:wave:</span> I noticed something potentially odd about the documentation and I was wondering if it was a bug. To that end, I was wondering:</p>
<ul>
<li>Should setting the <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/settings.html" target="_blank" title="https://doc.rust-lang.org/settings.html">Auto-hide item methods' documentation setting</a> to <code>true</code> hide the method documentation on, say, the <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/string/struct.String.html" target="_blank" title="https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/string/struct.String.html">String</a> page?</li>
<li>If this is a bug, is it preferred that I file an issue first or submit a pull request to fix it?</li>
<li>How can I build <em>just</em> the rust documentation locally?</li>
</ul>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I think there are a lot of repos that are legacy and there are often historical reasons for things. In this case, the LLVM project recently migrated to a monorepo, so our LLVM stuff all now lives there...</p>

<p>It's also ok to have conversations here if you want (and sometime that can be more productive), but then usually a summary of the discussion is posted on the github thread for people following there</p>
